Comedian Bovi during his Man on fire show, joked about the increase in the rate of how celebrity marriages crash.

He called out Banky W for misspelling the word "Marry" in his proposal to Adesua Etomi, and said

"This is just an indication of the cracks in their union and if not careful, the beginning of a woeful marriage"...

He further went on to joke about Tunde Demuren and Toolz' marriage.

''When Tonto was dating her husband,she called him Mr X,today he is her X''...

He said "All the Ts are having marital crisis, Tonto Dikeh, Tiwa Savage, Toyin Lawani, Toke Makinwa....the letter T is even more pronounced in that of Tunde and Toolz Demuren, so their own split will be worse when it happens....now it has moved on to letter M, Mercy Aigbe...Mercy Johnson, should berra hold on tight..."

RMD Says ''White hair is the new six packs''..LMAOThere is this thing with Comedians all over the World...They Joke really expensive but they are just Jokes.I see no problem in these Jokes though....Those of you mailing me and complaining and commenting where these Jokes are posted.....Why not face the Audience laughing?Bovi is not my favourite comedian and I no send am becos he no send me but I enjoyed the Jokes......

It is just painful that everything is a joke to them and stupid people will be laughing after paying so much to hear them. Na dem sabi.

That is why my Bishop banned any comedian from climbing the Altar of God to make jokes about christianity. Shameful Bovi. Go and repent. Your marraige too can crash before you know it. Dont take people's pain for a joke

That was an expensive and a sensitive joke if u asked me. There are some things you don't make jokes with, especially when the affected are still struggling to get their lives back. It is a mockery on all grounds and shouldn't be applauded.

Then the thought of anticipating a marriage breakup for others is very distasteful. Not funny at all. Me thinks anyway 🙂

Oh no!I am soo sorry Pipi! But I thought I sent u belated Birthday Wishes on IHN.So sorry my love. I hope you get to see this.

Happy belated Birthday My Love,Pipi!May God bless u now and always sweetheart😍May you remain favoured and may Heavens answer when you pray. You shall remain loved and cherished. Your going out and your coming in will be blessed.You shall excel my dear dearest friend. I pray that you know nothing but Happiness and Laughter and Blessings.

I hope you enjoyed your day beautiful.I have a present for you baby girl. How do I go about getting it across dear?

This jokes are too expensive mehn......that joke about Banky is uncall for......Bovi, see ya life na, you get mouth dey yab AY the other time. Hope you can see no one is infallible............take the heat now and see how it is........Hope basketmouth will stand with you this time.........yeye

Dobu watch Chris rock? Christ Tucker? Even Saturday night live. Those jokes are about things in the headlines celebs etc. But we will be laughing bcos its not our celebs abi. I remember the joke about Oj Simpson and the girl he allegedly murdered. Nitji g soil jot. Joke na joke.no be today

He is still a very good comedian but some jokes are better left in the bedroom over talks with friends, family and partner. These people they use in jokes are human too and no one enters a marriage praying for it to fail.They should limit their jokes to societal problems and try not to hurt real people while at it.

Naija too like to dey carry matter go south. Haba its a simple joke. Anyway i no blame dem coz my sense of humour and their own no fit dey d same level. What will tubaba den say ? Where were dey when tubaba was the being shaded and called the father of all nations ? Oooh they should all go fuck demselves nigga will keep soaring higher.

Bovi went too far on this one. Nothing is funny about this at all. I mean how could he have joked with other people's painful issues and also say such a thing about Banky's future home? Not nice at all.

This is actually rude as it is people's personal life, people that are preparing to get married, he is already wishing them problems. He should not go and face his own marriage. Did it occur to him that Banky hired someone to do this and the person spelt it wrong. Who english spelling don epp? There should be a limit to everything. This isn't funny at all, but rude

Bovii is a comedian and that's what they do. Which one is this oversensitivity we are showing? I doubt some of you watch American standup comedy. Watched one last week where kevin hart, snoop dog and co roasted Bieber while he was in the audience. Our comedians are better. See how Americans insult their celebs all in name of joke.

I have watched it, but that's a roast, the celebs pick who should roast them on the stand. It's their choice but this right here is stupid, you can't poke a bear and cry when it comes for you. You can't say people are too sensitive because you are heartless, forgetting that no two persons are the same... Mtchew

Nigerian comedians are quite unimpressively shallow.Whatever happened to jokes from topical issues that are actually hilarious and also elicit some sort of discomfort for being a shift from our social or religious norms?Trevor Noah for example, his current butt of jokes has been Donald Trump but do you see how he does it?at an intellectual level by first causing roaring laughters across board then proferring solutions in a satirical way.

Eddie Griffin, Dave Chapele, etc. Even Salvador, that chubby fellow from Uganda is funnier than a bunch of Nigerian comedians.Would rather be a couch potato for a month watching South Park than attend any of them comedy shows.

Well...Some people may feel it's expensive because the marriage hasn't been contracted yet and it feels like he is wishing them bad already but I feel it's not expensive. We take life too seriously jare. That said I wouldn't really know how I would feel if I was the centre of the joke.

We take life seriously because we are Africans and there is witchcraft here. What you thought was a joke could be witchcraft attack on you. And of course,you should see it as a joke while the wizard actually knows what he is doing.

I didn't watch the clip up there but from what it's written there, in as much as his intention was to make people laugh over issues, this one is highly sensitive. He doesn't even have any right to call someone's name on his joke, if Nigeria is a correct country, he could be sued for that alone. Why should he joke out of people's predicament, he is making joke out of it and the people he is using is cringing IN hurt and remembering what they want to let go. Bovi,owe an apology. You shouldn't use someone's issue to shine. Is there nothing else to joke about?

In IBO land, if you bring wine for marriage introduction and it breaks, it is a negative sign. Though the jokes are expensive, Banky and Adesuwa shoould pray well o. Chemistry alone cannot sustain marriage.Nigerians sha, these comedians joke about dwarfs,crippled, Stammerers , deaf and dumb etc and we enjoy the jokes. Now we are angry . Hypocrites!

I don't think people are hypersensitive. It's all fun and games until you become the subject of the "jokes" with below the belt punchlines. It's one thing to crack jokes about an individual but when your jokes are centred on broken marriages and extending it to newly engaged couple(s), that's going too far.

Someone made reference to foreign stand-up comedians. What makes you think the foreign audience don't call out the comedians when their jokes are in bad taste? Some even have stuff thrown at them and are "booed" off the stage. You think everybody applauds Kevin Hart or Cedric the entertainer when they go too far with their jokes? Even Steve Harvey, with his priceless facial expressions that can crack you up without him uttering a word, ‎has been called out several times for unpalatable jokes.

I remember watching the Emmy award show ‎where the host, Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke insinuating that the late Johnnie Cochran was in hell looking up to the cast of "The people V. OJ Simpson: American crime story". The audience voiced their disapproval and he went like "oh! Too soon?", then he apologised. Comedians goof every now and then, it's not a matter of nationality. An insensitive joke is an insensitive joke, regardless of where the comedian is from.

A failed marriage has no hilarity in it, in my considered view. It's even more distasteful when the comedian "jokes" about couples who are likely to get divorced along the line, just because of a certain alphabet in their names . As beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, so hilarity lies in the ears of the listener. If you had a good laugh from his joke, good for you but don't say people reacting negatively are hypersensitive. God forbid you or someone you care about is going through a public divorce and another comedian decides to use you as the butt of his jokes, I bet the humour will suddenly be lost in translation.‎

Kissses to you bv Ronalda!having personally gone through a bitter marital experience myself, I won't find it funny if someone had said its my fault or wish to be in this position, but you know not how people are,because they are not the one in the situation, they think they know how it feels,those people he joked about their failed marriages must have tried all they could to make it work because if what people would say,but they couldn't n had to part ways,so its a very sensitive issue.Eni ijaoba,lounperae lokunrin.

No matter the great sense of humour I have, there are some certain things I dont just open my mouth and yap about. Some things are too personal to be made fun of. I have sisters and brothers and I dont wish anything to happen to their homes.
